in Gaithersburg, Maryland. In August 2024, we published the first three
post-quantum cryptographic standards, and work continues on additional
standards needed to protect against future quantum computers. The
conference will bring together stakeholders from academia, industry, and
government—including submission teams from the candidates under
evaluation—for in-depth discussions and collaborative engagement. As
part of this event, we aim to foster a workshop-like atmosphere to
support the ongoing development and refinement of the PQC standards.</span></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(17,75,115);font-weight:bolder"><u><a style="color:rgb(17,75,115);margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px" href="https://csrc.nist.gov/csrc/media/Events/2025/sixth-pqc-standardization-conference/documents/call-for-papers-pqc2025.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">CALL FOR PAPERS </a></u></span><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)">(PDF)</span></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27);font-weight:bolder">Important Dates:</span><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"> </span></p><ul style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:12px"><li style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"><span style="font-weight:bolder">Submission Deadline: </span> June 16, 2025</li><li style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"><span style="font-weight:bolder">Hotel Reservation Deadline:</span> August 23, 2025</li><li style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"><span style="font-weight:bolder">Conference Registration Deadline</span>: September 17, 2025</li><li style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"><span style="font-weight:bolder">Conference Dates: </span>September 24-26, 2025</li></ul><p style="margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27);font-weight:bolder">Inquiries:</span><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)"> <a href="mailto:pqc2025@nist.gov" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pqc2025@nist.gov</a></span></p><hr style="margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:15px;border-top:1px solid rgb(238,238,238);height:0px"><h4 id="m_387603779486005332m_-3567136632952285280registration" style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;line-height:1.2;margin-top:0.3em;margin-bottom:12px;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-weight:bold;color:rgb(27,27,27)">Registration Info</h4><p style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;margin:0px 0px 12px"><span style="font-family:"Source Sans Pro",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(27,27,27)">This
